The Orlando Magic are set to retire Shaquille O’Neal’s No. 32 jersey in a ceremony on February 13, the team announced.
O’Neal will be the first Magic player to have his jersey retired by the franchise.
The Magic drafted O’Neal with the No.1 pick in the 1992 NBA draft. O’Neal played four seasons with the team before signing with the Lakers.
“When someone asks who was the first player to officially put the Orlando Magic on the map, the answer is simple — Shaquille O’Neal. He took this franchise to new heights, both on and off the court, and his legacy is still felt within our organization today,” said Magic CEO Alex Martins.
